Painting collection books and calendars

I've been having an exciting few weeks for new printed items, having designed my new calendar for 2016 and the latest volume of my little book of paintings which includes over 60 of my favourite paintings from the last year. I've also added around ten new greetings cards designs this year, so I should have all these new things with me at Patchings Festival (June 4th to 7th) as well as recent oil paintings of course.

Some of you might be aware that I produced a little book of favourite new paintings in 2013 and then a year later another little book of paintings from 2013-2014. I know that some of you have collected both of these and so it was time to produce a new version with paintings from 2014 - today!

For me they make a fantastic memento of where I have been painting each year and it's so interesting to see how my work is developing.

About Me

My work is a celebration of sea, wind, sky, light and life revealed in rich and vibrant oil paint using my personal
visual language of fresh and direct brushmarks. Painting en plein air is central to my practice, and I travel to seek
new experiences and fresh inspiration to feed back into my studio work. I strive for simplicity and economy and to
make every mark count.
